  Defragmenting a disk or file and compressing a disk or a file, are different processes. If you choose to compress a drive, it is from a service that is then configured to run whenever Windows is running. This service will compress the data 'on the fly' so that it will take less disk space (IE it has drive lower cost). And decompress it 'on the fly' when the read data is the queries executed.

  Therefore, the disk compression on or active, it's on. It cannot be activated twice.

  Disk defragmentation is something different. The details can become complex, but the idea is simple. When operating, it reorganizes the data on the drive so that it is each file with all togrether and in order (as much as possible). Also, frequently used files can be placed on the disk where they can access quickly. Thus, System defrag schedules to make time - to-time, when the system is not otherwise busy.

  I hope this helps.

• What does not compress files to save disk space?

  Original title: compress the disc

  Hi, I'm not very good with computers. in any case, I see in 'Properties' to the local c drive, there is an option to "compress files to save disk space", or something like that. I want to create more space on my disk, so io should do? It will have harmful effects on what it is? can it be undone? anything else I should know about it?

  Thank you very much

  He was never a good idea to compress a drive.

  Some system files and folders don't like it, and if there is a problem with the drive, it will be more difficult to work on the problem. If you have a problem with a compressed drive, after he went on half capacity, it becomes incredibly difficult as the first, must unpack the drive, and if there is not enough space on the disk, decompression does not.

  In my opinion? Do not...

• Can save us from the Windows updates to another drive to increase disk space

  Hi I want to ask I can save the update of Windows to another example of player: as d ' drive, or an external hard drive, because the update are by default save to my c drive. And my c disk space becomes low.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  Thank you for your query details.

  I also appreciate that fact that you want to save the updates of Windows on another drive or location in order to increase the free space in C; drive.

  Save updates of Windows on another drive location is not recommended because it can cause corruption in the system files which can lead to some unstable operating system. It can also affect Windows start the process.

  Updates are automatically downloaded into the subfolder "C:\WINDOWS\Software Distribution\Download".

  If you want to increase the disk space, I suggest you run Disk Cleanup and check if it helps.

  Please see this link:
  Delete files using disk cleanup
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup#delete-files-using-disk-cleanup=Windows-7

  It removes temporary files, empty the "Recycle Bin", and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

  Note: When running Disk Cleanup on the disk hard if bad data files are found, all these data could be lost.

  I also recommend move your data files stored on drive C: to another drive to increase disk space.

  Hi jafrin.michel,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft community.

  Before you start the troubleshooting steps, I need the information required.

  What version of the windows operating system do you use?

  Method 1:

  If you are using windows 7, I suggest to perform a disk cleanup and verify.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

  Method 2:

  If you want to move the pagefile.sys to another drive, follow the steps and check out them.

  Follow these steps to move the pagefile.sys to C: drive on D: drive (if you have the drive D :).

  1, write click on my computer and select Properties.

  2, click on the Advanced tab.

  3, click settings under performance menu.

  4, click on the Advanced tab and click on change.

  5, select letter (C :) and "BOLD" No pagefile then click on Set. )

  6, if you want to configure pagefile.sys in, select drive D: drive letter D: and "BOLD" in the custom size or the size of the system managed , then click on Set. It displays a pop-up message click OK.

  7, again click apply and OK OK.

  8, the system you will be asked to reboot, click on Yes.

  9, after rebooting the system, you can see the pagefile.sys will be moved to D:

• I want to delete the hiberfil.sys to save disk space.

  original title: delete hiberfil.sys

  I want to delete the hiberfil.sys to save disk space. I'm doing this is because hybrnation is already disabled in the GUI. But this file again Aalst 2 GB of space. I tried running the command cmd and fled as administrator, powercfg - h. But I get a message that I don't have permission to enable or disable the Hiberntion. So please think about if I can remove this in my Windows 7, and in the future if I will I can use Hibernate?

  Demarrer start in Safe Mode, and then delete the file. Ensure that hibernation is not enabled.
  If you still can't delete it, use another bootable disk, and then delete it.

• Does anyone use iCloud for everything?

  Does anyone use iCloud as your main service (i.e. for synchronization, documents of cloud and primary email address)? I mainly use it as my primary service, but finds that she has its drawbacks, especially when it comes to Mail and web messaging on icloud.com - it is a bit old and lack of functionality.

  Wonder if anyone has experiences and possible suggestions to fix/improve the service?

  I use my account for all iCloud. It is my main email account, iMessage account, allows you to synchronize my calendars, is my main calendar, synchronize and stores my contacts, contains most of my personal documents (although I also use the box, Dropbox and OneDrive).

  I had no problems with it. What features Miss do you? I rarely use iCloud.com. I mainly go there through the apps on my iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac.

• Outlook Express wants to save disk space by compressing the messeges, but I've never used. Why have my messeges?

  I have Windows XP Pro and I use a hotmail account that is now Outlook.  I understand that.  I've never used Outlook Express.  When I turn on my computer, I get the message that save space disc can compress old files that it could take some time.  Even if they do not have my messeges, I would like to know how to uninstall it if it takes all of my disk space required on my old computer junkie.  I know that if I log in as an administrator, I can disable access to outlook express, but it is still in place?  This brings me to the question of the cleaning disc. In the cleaning disc, it says that compress files will not remove them.  Is that mean they cannot be deleted?  If this is the case, then will I not compress them?  Should I compress them before as I have remove access to Outlook Express as an administrator?  Thank you.

  The prompt for Compact messages is indicated after 100 closures of OE. But as you use it, something else is causing the registry counter display the prompt. My guess is that you should look for Windows installed.
   
  You must tell Windows Search to stop indexing OE.
   
  In the control panel. Indexing Options. Change. Clear the check box for Outlook Express.
  
   
  If you get the prompt again, let compact to reset the counter. It will not affect your Hotmail/Outlook account and messages. In addition, nothing is too much space. It's just a false alarm.
   
  P.S. The removal of access keeps the prompt to appear.
   
   

• Lack of available disk space; does not recognize that I have deleted files

  Today I found out, I had 2 GB left on my hard drive 150 GB (Windows XP Home edition, HP mini, purchased mid-2010).  I deleted about 20 GB of different files is no longer needed.  The properties of my C drive still say it be only 2 GB of free space, as if these files have not been deleted.  How can I force to actually evaluate disk space?  He always acts as if the hard drive is full, I can't save anything bigger than 2 GB because he thinks that's all he opened.

  I tried disk clean, defragment, properties of the material, Manager Matrix Storage Manager hardware, intel and now compress, then decompress it.  He still refuses to admit that I released 20 GB of space.

  Hi akbk28,

  I suggest that you perform a cleaning disc again and see if it helps. Check out the following link and make sure that you follow the steps mentioned.

• Hard Drive C full disk cleanup does not

  My hard drive C has been fine for a long time.  Then all of a sudden in a period of about a year he started fill by itself.  I would deal with the problem with the disk cleaning and remove programs and files is no longer needed, but every time I did that it would end up a bit more than before (it would mean 40%, then fill up to 65%, then disk clean he would stay to 45% full).

  Now, I have 110 MB of space on a 30 GB C drive, and I've done everything I can.  I ran thousands of times drive cleanup, I have eliminated all the programs that I don't use, and I transferred all my music and movies on my D drive (which is fine).
  I ran several scans, but there seems to be no worm.  I can't do system restore because I did a restore a year ago.
  Is there something I can do, or is editing and re - install Vista my only option?

  Hello

  To add to the view of Mick.

  Look with in the settings of your programs to change to the D drive. You can also copy existing data to D:, just copy it and make sure everything is OK before you delete it on C: and make a backup.

• Can not defragment. I get a pop up message that I am low on memory and free disk space. I use the cleaning disc, but can not run Defragmenter. I have only 2 percent of free space, and it will not defragment.

  a pop-up message tells me I have insufficient disk space and free up some disk space so I run the disc to clean and it removes some of the problems. He jumps up all 2-3 days.  I tried to defrag, but the error message says that I only have 2% of disk space and he needs 15% to defrag so it will not defragment.  The band is red when I analyze the system before defragmentation.

• Does anyone use this switches in a data center?

  I have an interest in the switches of SG-300 or SG-500 small businesses for small and moderate use.

  These are rack switches, but my question is if someone is actually using them in a rack of data center with public servers rather than catalysts?

  I understand that they are small business units, but they would hold the heat, vibration in a rack? How do they practice?

  I have an older catalyst, it costs less than new now that some of this small business ones, but I really need gigabit for internal LAN traffic ports and my DC tells me none has this unit to small businesses in their DC, it is not normal to use because they are not high-performance switches. IM worried to go small businesses who are actually Linksys device and not Cisco. I have some Linksys devices for personal use and at home and they are still in years. But I Don t know how they perform outside of this environment. I need to stay under $ 1000 per switch.

  They would fail in a few months? Can be clustered (2 switches) so if one fails the other take the network up until I have replace the failure? If so, I could take the risk, but one dying switch would be a disaster.

  My needs are low speed gigabit between the servers for backup and storage, but usually less 50 Mbit on the public Wan. These switches are really only for small office use or if they work very well with the servers in an institution? If so, I'd love to hear some real experiences, everyone I ask most of them said not to go with the switches, but then why are they still rack? They can´t be this bad or that they are not really designed for 24/7 usage?

  I'd appreciate some experiences with the amount of traffic you are passing on them and for how long (months) because I Don t know anyone use so far in a remote installation.

  Catalyst has shared backplanes and ASICS. SX300 and SX500 series does not work. If you do not need things like the protocols of the road (BPG, OSPF, IS - IS), VTP, CEF then these switches are very good.

  The switch has generally not hardware failure unless it is due to external voltage problems. A real failure, the MTBF is probably 4 or 5 years old, and I say this because the SX300 was not of the most and I've honestly never seen a die with the exception of power problems (storms, power surges, etc.). I saw ports to die only once and a while but that does not matter much because the switches are hardware to life with replacement free advanace...

  If you plan to use these switches as a Ridge with high throughput, especially in layer 2, I seriously doubt you'll break this thing.

  I am not yet sold on the robustness in environments of layer 3 but as a core for sub 300 people is a good switch. In response to another concept, the SX500X switches supports VRRP.

• Is it possible to work on projects iMovie on external hard drives in order to save disk space on my macbook (the internal hard drive has little space)?

  Hello!

  I have a problem working with iMovie on my MacBook Air... Drive HARD internal of the MacBook is unfortunately to small for the biggest projects iMovie... Is there a way to work on external hard drives or perhaps TimeCapsule?

  Thank you very much in advance!

  Yes, put your iMovie library/ies on a fast (7200 RPM) external hard drive to the Apple format is a good way of working.  Details of the setting up of libraries are covered in the help files to:

  http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/Mac/10.1/#/mov3fa25bae7

  Note that you may need to consolidate the media in an existing library before you travel to avoid breaking links to media located in the libraries from other Apple applications.  See:

  http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/Mac/10.1/#/mov882dee351

  I would not recommend using Time Capsule - you would need a separate partition above the used by time machine, and you could put some data on the same drive as backup.  Connection speed can also be a problem.

• Navigate to the UnityDb.bak directory to save disk space

  Hello-

  I would like to move the UnityDb.bak of C:\commserver backup directory to another drive that has more capacity. I don't really want to move the databases, the backup file. Is this possible or even supported? In my view, there is a way to change the location of the directory using SQL database maintenance, but wanted to check here for advice or contraindications.

  Thanks in advance,

  Ginger

  Save the UnityDbDump.bak

  Open SQL Enterprise Manager.

  Explore the Management.

  Click BACKUP

  Delete UnityDbDump

  Right-click and select new backup device

  The name of the device will be UnityDbDump

  The file name will be a default location, then change it to the lecteur\chemin you want.

  I tested the procedure above with backup nightly and weekly, backups were successful.
